Any ideas for a new home gift for friend that’s moved to Cornwall?

She’s from Australia and absolutely loves it there. I want to get her a gift for her new homes but no idea what to get her. She’s in Truro.

Get a glass jar and fill it with sea shells. Decorate it with a nice ribbon, perhaps one that matches her colour scheme. It will be special, as you made it yourself.

Bird bath for the garden

She may already have plenty but picture frames are useful.

Maybe a voucher to explore somewhere in Cornwall she has been yet? Heligan, Eden project, there are lots.

This company is Cornwall based - they do beautiful coloured blankets “Hug in a Box” - I bought a few for friends last year and was very pleased with the product, presentation and service.

If your budget doesn’t stretch to a blanket - then the snug scarves or alpaca socks are a nice alternative especially in the lovely coral colours rather than the cliched sea blues. If she’s an Aussie she might be very grateful as she heads into her first Cornish winter. There is even a wonderful wool covered hot water bottle in the outlet section.
